Immediately after Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 election, Democrats nationwide vowed to double down on their efforts to stop him by any means necessary.
They promised to dedicate all of their time and resources to fight the President-elect’s agenda even though voters mandated it.
And now Democrats’ efforts to destroy the incoming Trump administration is already directly harming thousands of working-class Americans.
Hochul, Democrats ignore American economic woes
The Biden-Harris regime has spent the last couple of years claiming that the economy is in the best shape it ever has been in American history.
The claims remain completely tone deaf to the rampant inflation and soaring costs for ordinary Americans.
One of the worst lies to come out of the Democrat-controlled White House is the claim that President Joe Biden has created the most jobs out of any President, referring to allowing workers to return to their posts following the Democrat-mandated workplace shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic.
But Americans saw right through the fake fluffing up of numbers by the Democrat Party, particularly in Democrat-controlled states, like New York, where Trump overperformed expectations during his Election Day sweep.
President-elect Trump famously stated that the result of the election was a mandate sent to him to fix the Biden-flation and to restore America’s economic prowess.
New York Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul, however, doubled down on the failed political talking points that Trump was a “threat,” and declared she would push back against his policies at every turn less than 24 hours after he won the election.
Just moments following her press conference announcing resistance to Trump’s plan to fix the economy, a massive tire factory in Tonawanda, New York announced they would be closing shop, resulting in the loss of jobs for more than 1,500 New Yorkers.
According to a Wednesday report from the New York Post, “The plant closure is primarily due to overall facility performance within the increasingly competitive international tire market.”
Sumitomo Rubber USA, the corporation that owned the New York Dunlop tire factory, put out a statement explaining why New York was no longer a viable place for the international tire company to do business.
“This difficult decision follows a multi-year analysis of the company’s financial situation and general market conditions,” explained Sumitomo in their statement.
The tire company hoped to find a buyer for their facility to protect the jobs of the employees, but nobody seemed interested in getting involved with Governor Hochul’s New York economy following her vow to resist any economic easing policies set by Trump.
“This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the significant impact it has on each of you, your families, and our entire community,” read an email sent to workers by Sumitomo.
Hochul oversees business fallout in New York
According to WKBW, roughly 1,550 employees were affected by Sumitomo’s decision to leave New York.
“Dunlop tires are made for passenger cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles,” began WKBW in their report. “The brand also has sporting goods such as tennis rackets and golf equipment.”
The reporter covering the story for WKBW interviewed workers from the plant who stated the announcement was “horrible.”
They explained that the move was a “very tough blow for the livelihoods of many families.”
The decision seems to echo another massive American company, Tupperware, who announced in June that they would be leaving the Democrat-controlled economy as well.
The popular American kitchenware company announced that they would be leaving the United States to start up their production in Mexico.
A representative for Tupperware stated, “It’s important to note this decision is not a reflection of the performance of the Hemingway [team].”
“We appreciate each of our valued team members and the many years of service they have dedicated to our salesforce and to the company,” continued the Tupperware spokesperson.
According to the New York Post report, the company cited a better economic environment from wages to production costs in Mexico for their decision.
While President Joe Biden and Governor Hochul continue to gaslight Americans over the state of the economy, businesses have been looking for routes to escape the destructive economic policies set by Democrats.
And Hochul’s vow to dedicate her time and focus, alongside New York’s state resources to resist Trump’s favored incoming economic policies was enough to shutter a massive source of employment for New Yorkers.
